The Lisima Foundation is the result of nearly a decade of exploration and learning in the heart of the Luchaze-Moxico territory, its mythical landscapes, secrets, and the ancient knowledge of its people. It represents the true meaning of the expression, Lisima Ya Mwono, which in Luchaze wisdom means "the source of life."
The Lisima Landscape includes the Water Tower of the Angolan Highlands and connects the springs and lagoons of four major rivers in Angola with the Okavango Delta (Botswana) and the Zambezi River (Angola). This entire area stores large quantities of freshwater that flow hundreds of kilometres, sustaining ecosystems in some of the most arid regions of Africa.
The Lisima Foundation aims to understand this natural treasure of Angola, Africa, and the world. More importantly, through it, we continue to advocate for the voices of its guardians, promoting and realising that the best form of conservation includes people and their history.
Lisima Foundation - Wild Bird Trust (WBT)
The Lisima Foundation is an extension of the Wild Bird Trust, a non-profit organisation founded in 2009 by Dr. Steve Boyes, dedicated to the conservation of wild birds and their habitats. This branch of the WBT in Angola is named the Lisima Foundation in honour of the Luchaze expression, Lisima Lya Mwono.
Lisima Foundation - National Geographic Okavango Wilderness Project (NGOWP)
Since 2015, the National Geographic Okavango Wilderness Project has been working with communities and governments to secure permanent, sustainable protection for the greater Okavango Basin - which spans Angola, Namibia, and Botswana.
